It is a very short story but still some descriptions went on a little bit too much, I do not need a detailed list of all the types of fruit you can find in the shops at Christmas time, ta very much!
Very much enjoyed the critique of classism and capitalistic greed but, Charles my dude, you are quite bad at describing women, please cease and desist!

Like most people I have seen many many adaptions of this and I was delighted to find that most of these haven't strayed far from the original text at all. The text is a little creepier in places than most adaptions I have seen but not much.
I think I will make listening to a different version every year a new Christmas tradition. Hugh Grant does a great job performing here.

Graphic: Classism
Moderate: Child death, Chronic illness, Death, and Terminal illness
Minor: Body horror and Cursing
Death is a major theme and scenarios involving death are described. A major theme is poverty and people being unempathetic towards poor people. The cursing is only implied and is minor by today’s standards.
